Check out https://bookshop.org/ Allows you to select a local bookshop to support. The book gets shipped directly from Ingram, with some of the proceeds going to the selected store. I asked at my local bookshop if this was preferable to ordering the book with them and going to pick it up. They assured me it was, it saves them upfront costs and guarantees the sale. I still go in when I can to browse new titles, but they don't carry much tech/computer related stuff.

Sounds like some really cool functionality, I'll take a look and see what I can implement to help people better support local bookstores
That looks great thanks. I should have mentioned I'm in Canada but I'll keep an eye on it.
